Meet Josh Mantz

What lies beyond the veil? The lure of the unknown has captivated me since my near-death experience, leading me on a lifelong quest to understand the mysteries of existence. I eventually discovered and turned to the esoteric, mystical, and occult spiritual traditions, finding them to be both challenging and deeply inspirational.

I'm a philosopher, breathworker, and yoga instructor with a degree in Consciousness Studies from the California Institute of Integral Studies (CIIS). I specialize in breathwork techniques, yoga practices, and contemplative methods drawn from various esoteric traditions. My background as a philosopher and military veteran, combined with my near-death experience, has given me a unique perspective on the intersection of life, death, and esoteric spirituality.

I created West Breath as a platform to help preserve, understand, and advance the practice of esoteric philosophy and spirituality, particularly in our present age where humanity is struggling now more than ever with meaning. My goal is to bring these sources of inspiration into the light and make them more accessible for those considering walking the path.

I invite you to explore the resources on this website, join me for a seminar, or reach out to discuss your own journey.
